I'm trying to weigh whether the added cost (and bulk) of Measurement Studio would be worth it for me vs simply using the free DAQmx libraries.
My application wouldn't have any need for the custom controls offered by MS nor the advanced libraries. All the application is doing is monitoring a handful of digital and analog inputs, reacting to them, and setting a handful of digital inputs. No high speed measurements, waveforms, etc. Probably the highest priority I/O may get updated every 50-100 ms.
I'm mainly wondering if MS offers anything over the DAQmx libraries when it comes to working with I/O asynchronously (which seems like the proper way to approach a responsive machine control application).
